While searching for an old e-mail to verify some issue of memory, I happened upon a group of messages dating back to mid-April. They were from various friends, acquaintances and family members expressing alarm, sorrow and concern about my heart surgery. Reading them again, some eighteen weeks later, touched me deeply. It was the first time I entirely sensed the impact of that event on the lives of so many people. I don't think of myself as some iconic symbol, but I am, in no particular order...... first born, first son, oldest brother, husband, father, uncle, nephew, in-law, boss, neighbor, customer, friend, godfather ...and so on. I can't think of anything else right now...........
I'm just me
